Description: In Greek, words are considered orthographically correct even if they do not have accents (diacritical marks). LibreOffice reports them as non orthographically correct. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Write any accented word in Greek: διακριτικός 2.Write the same word with all caps with accented letter: ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΌΣ 3.Write the same word with all caps with non accented letter: ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΟΣ Actual Results: LibreOffice report the non accented word with all caps (ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΟΣ) as orthographic error. Expected Results: A word should not be reported as orthographic error in both cases (with or without accent) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Deactivating check for capitalized words is not a solution since the orthographic check is needed. An algorithm that will convert accented letters to non accented and will consider both words (with or without accent) as correct, needs to be implemented. I do not know about other languages, but it is possible that still exist some languages that the capitalized version of words is not considered as error with or without accent. The problem is also bound to the "all caps" option. Most people want these "temporary,just for print, transformations" to drop the accent, since they prefer capitalized words without accents.
Hi Ηλίας Ηλιάδης, The unaccented form of the word is not recognized by the dictionary. You can add it yourselfto the dictionairy. Be sure, however, there will be no ombiguity.
Hi Jacques Guilleron, Please consider the fact that the report is not about my personal dictionary. If there is another place that this bug should be reported I will be glad to report if informed.
Also this was not reproduced at almost all MS Word versions I was used in the past, thus many converted docs are now invalidated. (I do not use it anymore so I have no info about it's current behavior)

Sorry if I was misunderstood, because of the limitation of spoken language. I confirm the bug. My last comment (comment 3 2018-07-08 04:17:57 UTC) was about the existence of this "feature" in Microsoft's products.

LibreOffice reports both all caps versions as incorrect. Anyway, you are a native Greek speaking individual, so I believe you -> NEW.

I think a small script that will remove the diacritics from dictionary words before comparing them with the capitalized version can do the trick. For removing of diacritics (accent) there is a working LUA table in https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module:Kleida-el used for correct dictionary sorting. These "maps" can easily be extracted and converted to upper case for the final "check". The idea is that all words in dictionary be capitalized and then apply to them a "remove accent" script. The "full" capitalized word in LibreOffice can then be checked against these "transformed" words. Although in the dictionary sorting the case is irrelevant, for correct "orthographic checking" is better to use a "to upper" approach, since final "ς" will be correctly handled in the capitalized version.
Dear Ηλίας Ηλιάδης, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
